Actor Daniel Craig has agreed to cut back on dangerous stunts for the new James Bond movie because his wife is worried he will get hurt.

The 49-year-old will reprise his role as the spy in the forthcoming 25th film in the series but will be opting out of some of the more thrilling stunts after his wife Rachel Weisz begged him to be careful, reports mirror.co.uk.

"It's a big bone of contention. Rachel doesn't want him in agony again. None of his aches and pains have gone away completely," said a source. 

"There's a legacy to all these injuries and she lives with them. They've come to an agreement about how hard he will push himself and he is pulling back from the edge this time. It's a prerequisite," the source added.
